ACCI 2021 Annual Conference

May 18-20, 2021, via Zoom Meetings

Notes

 Knowing that many schools still have travel bans and budgets are restricted this year, the Board of Directors made the difficult decision to postpone Las Vegas and return to a virtual conference format in 2021. More people will be able to participate, and we know we can hold an engaging, meaningful conference showcasing world-class research.
